Jagger's vocals were recorded in September 1968, so the lyrics were most likely written around July or August 1968. The tape with Jagger's vocals was send to LA for the music to be recorded in December 1968, in absence of Jagger.

would never normally have had any time for this song, in any version.
It's not the Stones, it's not one of Mick's best vocals....
...but as a vehicle for Ry Cooder's sublime slide...it achieves redemption

P.S. A nerd question: in regard to COLLECTORS ONLY - is that still the only release that includes the pure studio version of "I've Been Loving You Too Long", that is, without the audience noise in GOT LIVE IF YOU WANT IT!?

seems to me that this take has a vocal track different to the film version, as well

Interview with guitarist Russ Titelman:

In 1969, you found yourself playing guitar on 'Memo From Turner', for Jack Nitzsche's soundtrack to the Mick Jagger film, Performance.

Patterns are always clear after the fact. The lyrics, at the latest, may have been tweaked in February 1969. It is likely they were already finished in October 1968.

It's not the Stones indeed, but technically it served the function of a Stones song, despite relaesed under the name of Mick Jagger. Namely "Memo From Turner" turned out to be the contract filler (together with the b-side "Natural Magic") the band owned to Decca at the time. For some reason, Decca didn't see the proposed "Cvcksucker Blues" as a good single A-side... (But I always have thought that "CS Blues" would have been a great b-side for "Memo" continuing its homosexual themes. But probably it was a bit too explicit in that sense...)
So the result was that the soundtrack album of PERFORMANCE was released by Warner Bros Records (September 19, 1970), but the single "Memo From Turner" (October 23, 1970) by Decca Records.
So I guess for that reason the song also have made some Stones collections (SINGLES COLLECTION most notably): Decca/Abkco sees it as a 'proper' Stones song, belonging to their catalogue. I personally first got (and heard) the song from a (German) Stones collection called COLLECTORS ONLY (released in 1980).

"Imagine" is a word that John Lennon used many times in his famous song. But he basically said that all those things were facts. And looking back to what happened to him, imagination leads to nothing.
Digging into the details of facts appears to me as a much better way to waste our precious time

Ok! So that's most likely is its first and most well-known appearance (or did it appear in the original MORE HOT ROCKS?).

whatever all this means, is...
MTF was released in 1970, so a majority of work could have been put between 1968 and 1970. i believe that mj lyrics were recorded later after Titelman sessions

No this is all incorrect. It is a solo song worked on by Jagger in 1968, and not in 1969 when he was working with the Stones. There's various remarks by Jagger, Richards, Jack Nitzsche, Rus Titelman and Al Kooper about writing and recording this track.
